  1. The dataset has been updated due to the discovery of an error in the code used to generate the previous dataset. This has affected many of the numbers in the dataset and the accompanying write-up. This error mainly affected Countryside Stewardship numbers- the figures for the Sustainable Farming Incentive have only been revised slightly. Headline figures that have been revised include the total amount paid out for SFI and CS in 2024, which has changed from £1.2 billion to £1.1 billion, and the total amount paid out under CS in 2024 which has changed from £665 million to £500 million. The top 10 actions with the highest amount paid out has also changed, although the top action (SAM3) and its payment amount (£132 million) has not changed.
